What are you most passionate about?

Here is a video to inspire your start to 2013.

When i first saw it i knew i wanted to share it, as it talks about something i truly believe in: striving to do things in your life that you are truly passionate about, instead of just chasing a job that will lead to making loads of money. For many of us money is the key motivator in choosing our direction in life starting from the subjects we study at school to the level of education we pursue, which ultimately leads to a career that will make the money we so desire. But this video questions such motivation. In fact it goes as far as to say that it's a stupid way of living and i agree.

 The truth is we do things that make us bored and unhappy in order to attain the money we require to 'purchase' our happiness. All we should be doing is asking ourselves simply what it is that we desire to do in life and then just do that instead. That way we can be happy all the time and still be able to make money from our passion if we become the master of what we love to do.

Well i thought it all made perfect sense, i hope you feel the same.

How to make decisions

Indecisive? Don't worry you are not the only one. Many of us fall victim to the lack of certainty when concerning various aspects of our lives. Whether it is to pick a life partner, choose a career path or order lunch, it sometimes feels like an overwhelming abundance of choice that results in our inability to pick just one of the options. Below are my tips for getting you through the confusion: 1)    Weigh up how you would feel about this decision if you were a parent or an older version of yourself. 2)    Would you be proud to admit that you did it? If the answer is yes, then go ahead with your plan. 3)    What do the hoards say and what do your closest friends say? Try to blur out the masses and listen to those that know you best. They will steer you in the right direction.

Two pieces of advice from my grandma

I was born in Europe but raised in Australia and as my family didn't always have enough money to splurge on the European holiday, the visits back to my native nation tended to be on the sparse side of things. None the less, when i did go back i got to see all of my uncles, aunties, cousins and grandparents. Although each trip was unique and successful in many ways, it was my most recent trip that proved to be extremely memorable. I was 24 then and considered a true grown up amongst my relatives. With this new status came different conversations as i learnt from my latest exchanges with my grandparents. It seems the older you get, the higher the ratings become for your family conversations, which suddenly turn from PG stuff (how is the weather? What type of animals live in Australia? What is your favourite food?) right through to the R18+ subject matters (Who are you dating? What kind of illnesses has the family experienced, who passed uni and got a job/who didn't, who died?)...

Making mistakes is natural

When i read this quote as part of a promotional email this morning, it really resonated with me. I feel that a lot of us want to take steps in life that are perfectly planned, executed and which always deliver the desired result. As many will have experienced, this wishful thinking doesn't always occur but i think the quote below explains exactly why it's ok to make mistakes and in fact that mistakes are what make up our lives in the first place! "A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing". - George Bernard Shaw
